  • I have just installed Family Tree Maker 2012. It recommends use of Firefox 3.6, but that doesn't seem to be available from the download page. Is there any way to get this version?

    I currently use Chrome as my web browser and am not able to access the Ancestry.com website using it. Every attempt to sync my records fails and the manual suggests use of Internet Explorer or Firefox 3.6 However, the current download available is not 3.6 but appears to be Version 8...? (based on the first question on the Contact Us screen, which relates to having upgraded from 3.6)

    You are welcome :)

  • I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
    The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
    Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

    Check in "System Preferences">"Energy Saver" to see if you have the "Computer Sleep" bar set too low.

  • When I delete podcasts from the library, it is still on my shuffle. It used to delete it from the shuffle, too.  How do I fix that?

    Helo utahskierdave,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    I understand that you would like to delete podcasts from your Apple TV that have already been deleted from iTunes. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the following post and using the troubleshooting steps within.

    Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
    Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded?

    I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

  • An app which plays music from the resume point just like videos for iphone 4

    Hi,
               I am using iPhone 4. I would like to get an app which plays music from the resume point just like what we are having for videos.
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    Thanks for all of your responses
    I've been researching and trying different things and have yet to come up with a viable solution. I prefer to go the free route when I purchase my media streaming software, however, I don't mind paying to have something once I feel it works. I would also like to mention, I want a media server which streams media(music/video) to all of my devices(xbox360, Wii, PS3, Iphone).
    Here is my current configuration:
    Imac 20"( 2 GH intel core 2 duo, 4 gb memory, running ps3 Media Server)
    Apple Extreme Router
    Sony Vaio Laptop(winamp remote)
    My media has been produced by using my Imac with handbrake software(video) and Itunes for music.
    I have tried PS3 media server and it seems to work wirelessly with my xbox360 just fine, however, the PS3, Wii and Iphone are a different matter. I get errors on ps3("this video content cannot be played "(8002288d8). The Wii and iphone wont recognize PS3 Media Server.
    My windows PC(Sony Vaio-Windows 7) has software I've downloaded called WINAMP Remote which seems to do all I want except, my xbox, Wii, PS3 all work but the video quality stinks(digitized flickering, poor quality overall). The iphone app(Orb-Free) video has a great picture but stutters frequently and stops. Audio over 3g stutters(meaning I have to hit play very frequently cause it stops) also.
    All this being said, I still am searching for a media server which can stream seemlessly to any of my devices. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

    How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

    Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

  • When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

    When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

    I've asked this before, but the spinning wheel is still there and sometimes it freezes up to where I have to shut it down manually.  Can someone tell me how to fix this!! I dont really know how to find certain places to check on things.

    The feature media.windows-media-foundation.enabled by default is true, did you have to set it back? Please also check out version 29 it just came out this week.

    Thanks, but unfortunately, this is not a message, it is the HTML page that it shown after a student registers for a course. I can see how to preview it at
